//------------------------------// // Chapter 6: Which way now? (Fluttershy's PoV) // Story: The loss of a Heart // by Daylight Glimmer //------------------------------// Fluttershy walked through the aisles of the Super Market. She put a chocolate bar in her basket, then added milk. As she went to the check out line, Fluttershy noticed Bic Macintosh looking at cans of wet dog food, probably for Winona. Then Fluttershy noticed the brand name he was looking at. She rushed towards him and spoke in her soft voice. "That isn't a very good brand name to be looking at." He gasped for a second in surprise. Then Bic Mac looked down at the pegasus. "Why?" he asked. She was a pet expert and knew a lot about animals, but this was the cheapest brand. "Well for one, there isn't enough everyday vitamins in this brand. And Winona is a farm dog so she needs as many as needed for her activities. Don't forget the fact that this doesn't have any protein in it. You should try that brand over," Fluttershy was almost out of breath after giving her reasons. Big Mac turned and looked at the suggested dog food. "Eeyup," he replied. "Goodbye," Fluttershy said and went to checkout. After checking out, Fluttershy went home to feed her pets. Then, she pulled out a map. It was a map of the entire world. She took some measurements and started mapping out her plan. She wasn't about to let Chrysalis get away with it. Not now, not ever. After finishing, Fluttershy saw that the banishment land was beyond the Everfree forest. "Beyond Everfree?" the mare asked herself. "How is that even possible? How are we going to get there? Oh my goodness...," it was too much to think about. So, she resorted to holding a meeting with Pinkiepie, Applejack, Rainbowdash, and Rarity. After explaining a few things, the girls brainstormed. " Why don't we just rent that hot air balloon in the middle of town to just fly over the forest?" Rainbow asked confused. "Do you have any idea how expensive that will be? An outrageous amount of money!" Rarity exclaimed. "Lets just walk through the forest! It'll be fun!" Pinkie announced clearly pleased with her idea. "I don't think walking through a dark, dank, creepy forest is fun Pinkie," Fluttershy commented quietly. "Going by hoof won't be that bad, what other choice do we got?" Applejack asked them. "As much as I don't want to, Applejack is right. We must trudge through the forest before time runs out," Rarity said bravely. "Then we walk! I'll go pack my camping bag," R.D. stated, and left the cottage. "Well then, I guess we will meet here at dawn," Rarity observed, and made her way to the boutique. "Guess we will, see ya'll in the mornin'," A.J. then left the house to go to her own. "I love camping!!! I will be here tomorrow Flutters!" Pinkie exclaimed enthusiastically, then left bouncing. "I hope this is just a camping trip," Fluttershy whispered into the empty cottage.
